Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Sheldon Adelso, and Obama VS The People.

Nobody Wins

Last week, in the opinion pages of the New York Times, Warren Buffet, Sheldon Adelson, and Bill Gates were expressing how disgusted they were with Congress for not passing immigration reform: And they blame it, in so many words, on the Tea Party.

“AMERICAN citizens are paying 535 people to take care of the legislative needs of the country. We are getting shortchanged. Here’s an example: On June 10, an incumbent congressman in Virginia lost a primary election in which his opponent garnered only 36,105 votes. Immediately, many Washington legislators threw up their hands and declared that this one event would produce paralysis in the United States Congress for at least five months. In particular, they are telling us that immigration reform — long overdue — is now hopeless.”

Nobody Says: Gee guys, we understand how frustrating it must be, to bring over those Indian and Chinese computer wizens, pay them low wages after they got their degrees from Yale, and a free job from you, and then they just leave. We feel your pain.

Then they have the audacity to go back to their own countries, and use the secrets and designs they learned from you…and make them in their own countries, without giving you any royalties.

And by the way: that wasn’t just any congressmen, this was the minority speaker of the House.

“Americans deserve better than this.”

Nobody Says: Yeah, we agree. So, why don’t YOU start hiring American citizens? The few more bucks you would pay in salaries, would more than make up for the billions you will lose in international copyright and patent infringements litigation.

“We believe it borders on insanity to train intelligent and motivated people in our universities — often subsidizing their education — and then to deport them when they graduate. Many of these people, of course, want to return to their home country — and that’s fine. But for those who wish to stay and work in computer science or technology, fields badly in need of their services, let’s roll out the welcome mat.”

Nobody Says: We agree with you, to a point.

You blame the Tea Party for your pain? Blame Obama. I thought you guys were geniuses? And by the way, we have kids here who would LOVE to work for you. What? Aren’t they good enough?

Obama is flooding the country with uneducated, gang members, the lowest of the poor, who will never be hired by you, and he is suppose to be helping YOU with more slave laborers with high intelligence? Pick up the phone. Call him. He’s a genius too, remember?

This is what the big boys are mad about:

A “talented graduate” reform was included in a bill that the Senate approved last year by a 68-to-32 vote. It would remove the worldwide cap on the number of visas that could be awarded to legal immigrants who had earned a graduate degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States, provided they had an offer of employment.

Bill Gates wants well-educated people who can add. I understand. If I were him, I would too. And yet, he is putting into OUR public school system, Common Core, where math will be obsolete— With a Big Brother surveillance system that will spot that genius kid first, so he can grab them for pennies on the dollars.

The three amigos’ go on:

“Americans are a forgiving and generous people, and who among us is not happy that their forebears — whatever their motivation or means of entry — made it to our soil?”

Nobody Says: Think again Honcho’s! We might be forgiving, but giving our world over to Mexico just so the big companies can have cheaper labor is not exactly our idea of happiness.

And the means of entry into our country, MATTERS.

“Studies also show that what inequality does exist is not the result of the Bush tax cuts or a failure to spend more on social-welfare programs, but on the transformation of the American economy from a focus on manufacturing to information and technology.”

American-born workers have had a net loss in jobs since 2000, while all of the job growth since then has gone to immigrants.

Millions of new jobs were created during that same period in the United States, but immigrant workers soaked up all that job growth. There was a net gain of 5.7 million in immigrant jobs during those 14 years, from 17.1 million in 2000 to 22.8 million in 2014, but the overall net effect was that 100 percent of the job growth went to immigrants and 0 percent went to workers born in the USA.

Read that again: 0 percent went to American workers.

Yep: We have three different ponies in this immigration game:

Obama and the democrats want voters.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, want the Chinese and Indian tech gurus.

The American people want to STAY: American. Not a bigger version of Cuba.

So, if we go by the Constitution, the people should trump the rich. But…hey…we’re losing that battle.

Gates and Buffet were right. the American people really DO deserve better. They ended their letter with this:

“Signs of a more productive attitude in Washington — which passage of a well-designed immigration bill would provide — might well lift spirits and thereby stimulate the economy.”

About

I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)

Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
